Founder’s Award- Laurieann Thorpe

In addition to Foster Families of Utah recently recognizing one outstanding RFC from each region, we were pleased to present a Founders Award to Laurieann Thorpe, who has worked tirelessly in her efforts to get Foster Families of Utah off the ground. Laurieanne is the former President of Foster Families of Utah and we are fortunate to have her expertise as she will continue to serve on our Board.

In addressing Conference attendees at our recent Foster Learning, Building Bridges Conference, Laurieann used her characteristic humor and as well as her heartfelt passion when she noted “foster parents in Utah foster because they want to help children.”
